Yeah that part was weird.

I think he did do the translation himself; he's basically saying the same thing in the Chinese text but it sounds a lot more natural, lol.
I think his reactions are probably genuine HOWEVER it's worth nothing that in China they generally LOVE this sort of huge superhero movie mainly based on spectacle; since people don't understand English, a bad script/poor writing might not be immediately evident to them. (Not saying that BvS has poor writing, just indicating that it's worth taking everything with a grain of salt)

When I hear/read that, I think it's obvious that it refers to the "remember the man who beat you" moment and leaves out the heart attack stuff.

Just found this...basically I might like this movie.
The big thing that bugs me is that it sort of bypasses the "what if I was fine with the tone of MoS and took issues with other parts of the movie" category. Like, not just the ending. I was actually 100% fine with the ending.

So....we still don't have a mirror or another source for those images the OP linked?

Yeah, that reddit link from earlier is what you're referencing I think. And that guy is full of shit, apparently.
Same here. It wasn't the tone or the ending that made me dislike Man of Steel
I've seeing two different spoilers reviews saying the same thing. It looks like there is the famous dialog from the dark knight returns.

The Knightmare is a big freaking question mark. It's clearly at least semi-prophetic; if it was just Bruce having a regular bad dream, he wouldn't be seeing, parademons, firepits, or that giant Omega. So... what the hell is it? Is it the vision of some oracle that Wondy is acting on? Is it somehow linked to Flash time travel shenanigans? Is it just interspersed with no explanation given? I've seen a ton of theories and a fair bit of bullshit, but basically nothing reliable.

Why are we calling it Knightmare btw, is it something ET specifically mentioned? Sounds cool though.
It's because of this figure a while back somebody spotted at a con, it was Batman in his duster/goggles outfit and the plaque in front of it read "Knightmare Batman."

I've seen it on the merch.

I saw a BvS Pop figure of Batman in the dust jacket at Barnes and Noble and it was called Knightmare Batman
Edit: beaten ^
Oh, cool. If they're officially acknowledging the sequence in this way, I hope it's a significant thematic part of the movie. It's certainly the most visually striking aspect in the trailers. One thing DC has over Marvel is their total weirdworld mythos where their heroes truly feel like gods, and there's a whole metaverse that plays with that concept narratively. Tapping into that right off Man of Steel is the smartest thing Snyder has done with DC so far imo.

For as impressive as Star Wars' secrecy was (and it was pretty impressive) the fact BvS isn't really spoiled more than it is maybe even more impressive.
Especially since the picture's basically been locked since last September.

On the other hand, it's possible there's a 100% accurate account floating around out there, and there's so many fake ones it's just impossible to pick it out of the crowd
Flashpoint movie could be super dope with this set of cast.
Like they got Jeffrey Dean Morgan to play papa Wayne, dude can kill it in the role for Flashpoint.

Could be, but there still isn't a 100% coherent blow by blow account for a film which seems packed with content. Everyone reporting on it just expands on stuff which are already known, and seems somewhat evasive about stuff outside the safety zone. It's interesting.
Yeah definitely true. Movie's definitely been in the can since then. Zimmer says he finished in November.
It's a 2h30m movie (3h apparently for the ultimate cut) and we basically only know of the scenes we've actually glimpsed in trailers...which in retrospect aren't that many considering the films runtime
What did he mean by this?

To me, this was obvious. Zack could have chosen any chump for the Trinity to fight (Parasite, Metallo, Bizzarro, etc.), but he specifically chose Doomsday to the point of changing his origin as well into FrankenZod. Death of Superman was inevitable, but he'll be back of course. Like Jesus, do you get it?

I think the EW article confirmed it.
Well there it is. Great use for him. More casual people who just watch the show will love it.

Because TDKR is the worst comic to ever rely on for a Batman vs. Superman fight. Frank Miller has a history of treating Superman (amongst other DC characters) like shit. Other comics have done a much better job at depicting the conflict. Also, it's an unwinnable fight for Bruce no matter how much Clark holds back. No amount of metal can save Bruce from a God.

Flash warns Batman, Aquaman and Wonder Woman that Darkseid and Androids are coming, and that Superman will have a heart attack and die right before they invade.
Lol, you and some others were 100% certain Han would die months in advance. The secrecy was shit.
they said it's actually shorter than 2.5 hours. The credits are a whooping 8-9 minutes long so the film itself last 2:22 according to Snyder in the EW interview.
Thank god there's no scenes after the credits..

Won't stop me from staying in the theater, just to be safe/process what I just witnessed.
So Batman actually wins? Total horseshit.

Whisper more sweet nothings into my ear....
I need this to happen. I need a live adaptation of Flashpoint.

It is not horseshit in the slightest.
What does this mean?
hemo memo
You can't die before your death
But it's awkward.. I remember Deadpool where some infront of me whispered "should we go, it would be awkward if nothinhg show up"

Goes from God in MoS to chump who gets worked by Bats and Doomsy?
So I've been reading around and think I found a real description of the movie. In it he describes the fight. If it is true then as a Superman fan I am more than okay with how it plays out. It might look like a loss but it's so in-character for this Superman (especially if the arc is done some justice up to this point) that I actually smiled while reading it. This is also the "even the most cynical will tear up" scene the guy from EW mentioned.

Is it the one that says Supes allows himself to get beat up by Batman because he blames himself for the destruction and casualties during the fight with Zod?
